Answer 3

I think $2 per child per hour would be resonable.

Answer 4

I live in Ohio in a rural area.  I get paid $5/hr., but I don't babysit on a regular schedule (maybe once or twice a month).  When I babysat on a regular schedule a few years back, they paid me $75 per week (about thirty hours a week which would equal $2.50/hr).  I think it just depends where you live.

Answer 5

WOW... some of those other answers are crazy, glad I'm not asking them to babysit... $5-7 an hour plus hope for a good tip is the average around my neighborhood for a mid-teen babysitter.  Obviously more $$ for older babysitters...

Answer 6

$9 per hour

Answer 7

This is in Canada but for babysitting our 3 children we pay $8 per hour to a girl in grade 12.  We round up to the nearest hour so often she gets a couple of dollars over.

Answer 8

2.50 an hour per child. So say 3 kids would be 7.50 per hour. Hope that helped!

Answer 9

That depends upon where you live.  I know two of my nieces in California get $10-15 an hour for babysitting...however that's because the cost of living is higher where they live.  You need to ask around and find out what kids your age make an hour
